Ted, Tito & Bluster in Boston
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Steven Keys.
All good things must end. Sadly, some fizzle out a lot quicker than you’d expect. And so did the storied relationship between Manager Terry Francona and the Red Sox end on Friday when owner John Henry passed on picking-up the future HOFer’s option. The man who helped engineer two victory parades in eight years for the Hub City apparently hadn’t built-up the goodwill to weather a storm of ...

Sun Bowl Win Shows Why Kelly is Right Man for Job
Posted on 31 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
This is why you wait until it’s over. As baseball great Yogi Berra said, “it ain’t over ‘till it’s over.” That phrase definitely proved true of Brian Kelly and the 2010 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. In two short months, Kelly is on the fast track to doing what he was hired for last year – bringing respect back to South Bend. Think back to the night of October 30th. Kelly, sitting i...

Panthers: Michael Haywood….Who???
Posted on 18 Dec 2010 by Michael Waterloo.
When the University of Pittsburgh held their news conference announcing that Miami of Ohio Coach Michael Haywood would be their new coach, the reaction was pretty much the same: “Michael who?” Most people, actually 99% of Pittsburgh fans had no idea who this man was and instantly the negative comments came out about not being able to sign the big Coach, when in actuality the only ...

While it won't be his job when practice begins, hasn't Rees done enough to be considered the front r...

On a Christmas Eve…2008
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
As we slowly tread our way towards the Sun Bowl on New Years Eve, lets relive Notre Dame's last bowl. Ironically, it was also played on an eve. Christmas Eve. 2008 And what a bowl it was! The 49 – 21 win over Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl snapped a nine game bowl loosing streak for the Irish. It was arguably theshining moment for two of the Irish's most talked about characters. First, Cha...

Notre Dame: A Study in Mental Toughness
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It is truly remarkable to think about how the Notre Dame season ended. Yes, it’s only 7 -5 (exactly what this space predicted in late August, but the way), but it’s the best kind of 7 -5. It’s the pleasantly surprising kind. We know the story, heard it a million times. But somehow, it doesn’t get old. At 4 -5 and coming off a brutal home loss to Tulsa, it looked like Notre Dame’s bowl...

What’s Better Then Finishing In L.A? Uh, a lot….
Posted on 26 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
This is the luxury of being bowl eligible. At least Notre Dame doesn’t have to win this game, but it would nice. Boy, would it be nice. The reality is, as famous as this rivalry is, the games played in Los Angeles stink. Sure, the recent South Bend chapters have been entertaining. Who could forget the Bush Push? I know it still gives me nightmares. Even last year’s game was close. A 34 ...

A Big Win On A Big Stage
Posted on 21 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Six points. That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has allowed in the month of November. Seven Points. That’s the amount of points the Irish defense has scored in the month of November. Add in a special teams touchdown to that equation and it wouldn’t have mattered if the Irish gained a yard of offense in the years eleventh month, they’d still be 2 – 0. A lot of thing...

A Win Like No Other
Posted on 13 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
WOW. That was unexpected. If you (or, perhaps more appropriately, I) thought the season was over, think again. Two weeks after looking dead as a doornail, the Irish suddenly has life. Bowl eligibility, something that looked like a pipe dream after a crushing loss to Tulsa, is now (dare we say it) likely with Army next on the schedule. The win was the kind Notre Dame fans and haters alike have b...

Notre Dame/ Tulsa : The Call That Ended 2010
Posted on 1 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Welcome back to rock bottom. Welcome back to playing out the stretch. Welcome back to thoughts like “I’ll be happy if it’s a game in the fourth quarter”. Oh, how I haven’t missed this lonely land where football seasons go to die. But hey, at least theirs only three more weeks on the schedule before the focus shifts to 2011 and beyond, if it hasn’t already. Face it, year one of the B...
